Rules shouldn't be changed,

if we want to change everything let's make it 1v1 so it lasts longer. I say Badnik shouldn't enter his bot as that was the original rule and I don't feel like making a cheap 1 wheel drive SnS AW so if it's allowed I will withdraw my entry.

Stop trying to find/create loopholes just to screw everyone else over.

But Badnik entered his robot when 1wd robots were allowed by Jonzu. I wouldn't say he's at fault here and as such shouldn't be punished.

So, if Jonzu allow 1WDs we lose Ianh, but if 1WDs are not allow we lose Badnik.
How can we solve this?
That's what happens when the host changes the rules...

So everyone else who wants to update their bots can change to 1WD instead of Badnik entering a 2WD like it was originally intended? either way his bot will most likely lose in this type of tournament:

Yep. That's pretty much what I was saying.
And to answer your earlier question. Yes, those razors on my robot are on a axle. Mounted on an angled baseplate.

look if you guys seriously care about me having a 1wd robot that I didn't even test and probably sucks in this tournament then i'll drop out. You get an even 8 bot bracket. Everyone wins.

I seriously don't even care about this tournament anyway.

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #26 on:** June 03, 2013, 09:52:36 AM »

9-bot bracket works too. I'm not going to make it before we solve this out though.

@ Jonzu :
Since, this is unsolvable (we lose one entrant in every case), I'm going to act as a gentleman and propose the real solution :
I'm removing my complain, go ahead and start it as is, Badnik's bot is not that scary after all. C2000 could increase my chances drastically, but I have the habbit to not enter with my best bots anyway, so really, go ahead like it is now...

@ Iahn :
My bot is better than Zombie, it will probably beat the UD 1 vs 1, but the rumbles however are very chaotic and everything can happen.

@ All :
Jonzu, your rules doesn't even say that your robot needs a controlled movement, it doesn't even mention any movement and doesn't forbid bumble balls. "AW-The grenade" anyone? So he better start this, before he mess it up even more...

How is it better? both seem to have 2 pinks and 2 axe heads.

Venko · « **Reply #29 on:** June 05, 2013, 06:48:00 AM »

Back on topic...
So, is everyone agree so we can start this, as it is?
Jonzu, what is your opinion as a host?

ianh05 · « **Reply #30 on:** June 05, 2013, 07:19:22 AM »

Just start it as it is now. Surprised a mod hasn't checked in to lay down the law TBH.

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #31 on:** June 05, 2013, 08:34:43 AM »

Brackets added.

Conraaa · « **Reply #32 on:** June 05, 2013, 08:54:55 AM »

Spiiiiral i'm not too sure on, but I think if I'm really lucky I can take off tiny titan's weapon rack in one hit.

Brackets are a bit confusing. Doe all the 2nd place robots go into another rumble, then the winner of that goes into the final rumble with the first round winners?

Looks like it. Looks like I have a decent matchup, hopefully my Ugly Duckling's axe head stays on long enough to survive against Jonzu's bot.

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #34 on:** June 05, 2013, 10:31:01 AM »

Yes, conraaa. Winner goes to final, second goes to the losers melee and last gets eliminated

Mecha · « **Reply #35 on:** June 05, 2013, 10:55:30 AM »

All the bots are staying like this right? if so I'm showing the insides of my bot.

Venko · « **Reply #36 on:** June 22, 2013, 02:53:03 PM »

Jonzu, any chances of..., you know..., this starting soon?

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #37 on:** June 22, 2013, 03:59:25 PM »

Oh yeah... I've been doing everything else except continuing this in the past 3 weeks. Sorry :P
